McCain: Obama needs to explain ACORN ties by Mosheh Oinounou October 14th, 2008 embeds.blogs.foxnews.com BLUE BELL, PA - John McCain directly questioned his rival’s ties to the liberal voter registration group ACORN during interviews with multiple TV stations Tuesday. “Thousands of forged documents have been passed off as voter registration. I am very worried about it, I am very worried and I am worried about Senator Obama’s connections with ACORN and those should be fully explained as well. So I am deeply concerned,” he told Telemundo during an interview before his economic speech, one of seven local and national TV interviews he did this morning. Republicans have been aggressively attacking Obama’s ties to the group in recent weeks as ACORN has come under investigation for potentially illegal voter registration activities but McCain has not personally addressed the connection until now. “This ACORN voter registration fraud…that deprives Americans of their most precious right–they’re not just allegations, there is evidence,” McCain said. Obama represented the group in the early 1990s as an attorney and worked closely with ACORN organizers during his time as a community organizer. GOPers also accuse the Obama campaign of paying $800,000 to what they call an ACORN “front group” during the Democratic primary. For it’s part the Obama campaign says the Democrat has never been employed by the group and calls the issue a distraction. But the campaign’s lack of transparency about ties have become an issue when alterations were made to Obama’s web site earlier this week. McCain further explored the issue and compared Obama’s lack of openness about ACORN to his relationship with William Ayers during his interview this morning with WFTV-ABC Orlando. “We know how close Florida has been…and several thousand votes could obviously tip the entire, huge state of Florida. So, Senator Obama has had relations with ACORN in the past. Those like his relations with William Ayers and others needs to be fully-Americans need to be fully informed,” he added.
